    Hi, Buckeye_wife,

    Welcome to LCSC. We are glad that you have joined this community. Please feel free to browse the discussion boards, read some of the blogs, and join in on the conversations. This is a great place to ask questions. If you are seeking some additional support, I would be happy to share information with you about some of our programs and resources.

    Denzie mentioned Columbus HOPE Summit, a one-day survivorship conference which will be held on October 7, featuring expert speakers, educational sessions, and many chances to connect with other survivors, caregivers, and advocates. Please let me know if you'd like more information about this conference. We hope that you will be able to attend!

    With gratitude,

    Hi, Charlotte,

    Welcome to LCSC. This is a great community to connect with other lung cancer patients and survivors as well as caregivers and advocates. Everyone on this site has been affected by lung cancer in some way, and this is a good place to ask questions and share stories. I'm glad you've already connected with Michelle and Susan. If you can share a bit more information about your diagnosis and treatment plan, we can connect you with resources and other members who can help.

    We are here for you!

    Hi, Steff,

    I am sorry that you and your family are going through this again. Tom is a great example of a long term survivor who has lived through recurrences. Please keep us posted on your mom's surgery and biopsy. Once we have more information, we can connect you to others with a similar diagnosis. We have many resources for patients/survivors and caregivers, so please let me know if you'd like to learn more about our support program. We are here for you.

    With gratitude,

    My Mom recently diagnosed

    Hi, Missy,

    Welcome to LCSC. That is a beautiful post. My mom is adopted, and she too felt like she was "picked" by the parents who were meant to have her.

    I am sorry that you and your family are going through a difficult time. It is wonderful that you have each other and that your mom has so much support. I will reach out to some LCSC members to see if anyone can answer your specific questions about neulasta.

    You mentioned that people defeat the odds every day, and many members of this site are living proof of that!

    With gratitude,

    Lauren

    Hi, Dawn,

    Welcome to LCSC. Tom already shared a great resource, Lung Cancer 101. Please let us know if you need information about a particular topic. This is a great place to ask questions and get answers from people who are also navigating a lc diagnosis. We also have mentorship programs for patients/survivors and for caregivers if you'd like to connect with someone on a personal level. I hope your dad's appointment on Monday gave you some answers. Please post an update when you can.

    We are here for you!
